That one is pretty good! I knew it right as soon as I played it; I hear it every now and then at the Planet Fitness where I do my weight training and (soon, due to snow) treadmill runs.
I don't always do well with instrumental tracks because my mind wanders and then I become self-aware that I'm running, and that's when my mental aversion to it kicks in! It's like I have to "sing along" in my head to drown out those negative thoughts.
In my case, I needed something to help me “check out” at little bit. I was running in set blocks of time, and not for pace or anything. Mostly, I needed my body to trust itself again, and my mind wandering to whatever meant I wasn’t thinking about my knee giving out.
I can’t remember if I already mentioned it, but Paul Keeley’s “Doormatica” got me through a bunch of runs while I was rehabbing my knee.
